Harmonic symbols under slur?

[MusiComPublishing]

I’ve got a natural harmonic glissando on one string but the harmonic symbols are going outside the slur instead of inside it. How do I fix this?

If they’re not too abundant, you could try this approach

Can't Dorico place harmonics within the staff?

The usual solution (provided with 8ve lines) is to put the offending object, the one causing the shift (here, the slur) to the other side of the staff using F (Flip), and placing it manually in Engrave mode. It preserves play-back. Not sure it works with slurs though.

Starting with this

Flip the slur

Manual adjustment in Engrave mode

Thanks. So Engraving mode is the only way? I’m surprised this is not sorted out better in the program automatically.

No need for surprise. It has been discussed at length on the forum.

Well, one message above the one I linked to, was another workaround provided by @Christian_R .

I guess at some time, at some version update, more Engraving options will become available.

I don’t have the contents of the forum memorized.

You could use an articulation, like unstressed, and replace the symbol under Library→Music Symbols with the harmonic under the String techniques category. No playback though.
